MLB's Miguel Sano Denies Kidnapping Allegations; Twins Investigating
Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano denied allegations that he was involved in kidnapping a man in the Dominican Republic in May.
Per La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, lawyer Odalis Ramos posted a video on Tuesday "accusing Sano and three friends of kidnapping his client, Raudy Omar Sanchez de la Cruz, beating him and threatening to hang him May 6."
Neal noted that Sano denied the accusation and told Dominican newspaper El Nuevo Diario "Sanchez de la Cruz was involved in a sexual assault of Sano's young stepbrother."
The Twins told Neal they are "aware of the allegations and trying to gather information."
